Mwfan1921:

Note that for selective colleges many of the admitted students will have 4+ years of courses in each core subject area…regardless of what a given college might say is ‘required’, or the minimum.

Note that does put students in 6-period high schools at a disadvantage. 4 years in each of 5 cores plus 1 of art consumes 21 of 24 slots, and non academic high school requirements like health and PE can consume more slots. A personal finance requirement, whether it is considered an academic elective or a non-academic elective, competes for what little space (or negative space) there is left.

Students in 7 or 8 period high schools may not have as many schedule squeeze problems.
